[NON-REFILLABLE BOTTLE.

` SPECIFICATION formingpart of vLetters Patent No. `728,099, dated May 12, 1903.

Application filed J' une 16, 1902.

To all whoml it may concern: Be it known that I, JOSEPH CHARLES GUS TAvEsON, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Providence, in the county of Y Cache and State of Utah, have made certain new and useful Improvements in Non-Refillable Bottles, of which the following is a specigfication.

My invention is an improvement in non-rellable bottles, having for an objectto `provide a novel construction which will permit the contents of the' bottle vto be dispensed, but will prevent the refilling of the bottle and will include means whereby to prevent the insertion of wires or other instruments to displace the valves arranged to prevent refilling Y a detail perspective view of the guard-plug ordinary construction or form.

'of the bottle; andthe invention consists in certain novel constructions and combinations of parts, as ywill be hereinafter described and claimed.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the upper portion of a bottle provided.l

vwith my improvements. Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal section thereof. Fig. 3 is a crosse section onv about line 3 3 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is and its retaining-lugs, and Fig. 5 is a detail -perspective view of the valve for preventingv the refilling of the bottle. Fig. 6 is a sectipnal view showing a somewhat dierent construction from that shown in Fig. 2, and Fig.

7 is a longitudinal section of part of the bottle placed on the side, with arrows indicating the course of the liquid in dispensing the same.

The bottle A may in general respects be of In carrying out my invention I provide a contracted openi Ving at A, through which the bottle maybe neck, as shown at'D in Fig. 6.

The valve-chamber B'is I'Jrovided'with-a` circumferential outwardly-swelled portion B', which communicates at its upper end by the channel B with the neck of the bottle, the channel B opening immediately below the serial Ng, 111,890. (no man.)

guard presently described. I also provid-e the chamber B with a number of longitudinal channels B3, which maymerge at their middles in the recess B' and form at their ends passages communicating with the chamber B2 and also with the opening A' when the valve E (shown in Fig. 5) is unseated.

The valve E may be of cork or other suitable'material and is of a special form, being tapered at E' at its lower end to form a closure for the opening A', as shown in Fig. 2,1'

pressed lugs or keys H, which are pressed outwardly into the groove C by the cork or other spring H',.as shown .i nFig. 2. It wi'll be noticed from Figs. 2 and.l 4 that vthe -plug' has 4a transverse opening formed through it in which the lugs H and the spring H'for actuating thesame operate.

The guard serves a double purpose in that it operates to retain the val-ve E and the Vball F and 'also prevents the insertion of a Wire or'other instrument for the purpose-ofdisplacing thesaid bal-l or valve in order to reiill the bottle.

In Fig. 6" the valve E shown'in Figs. 2 and Y 5 lis replaced by a ball-valve I, the construction being otherwise similar to that shown in the other gures andthe same form of guard being employed.

The valve E is heldin line with its seat and from falling to either side by fitting it in the guideway e, provided bythe inner edges of -the walls of the channels'f-BS, below the circumferential recess for the valve-controlling ball F, so the .valveE ,is held at all times in line with its seat A', andyet can move longitudinally toward and Ifrom the lsaid seat'. When the bottle is in the position shown in Fig. 2, the glass ball resting on the valve holds .the valve down toits seat, and if the bottle be plaed on one side the ball F will still rest ol he edge of the valve and will hold the same toits seat, so the bottle cannot be lled when supportedv in the horizontal position.

Ifthebottle be turnedmearlynpside down,-

the ball F will fall down into the channel B2, as indicated-inA dotted lines, Fig.a2, and the valve Efwll fall onto the ball, thus leaving roomfor the liquid topass 'out through the `channels B3, and thencethr'ough the'circuitous passages GF in the guard Gjto discharge which the lball Flies when thejbottle is on its position. zo i bars. H, of glass,"wood, or' other material, be .inserted in the opposite. ends of v the transside the fdumpf because when the bottle is turned from theupsiddown position, so that it rests on the side, the ball will dump oi the edgeb2 and pnsh'the valve E to closed It will be noticed the distancebetween the edge b2 and the'inner end of the guard G is Vless than'one-half the diameter of the ball-F, so-the ball will dump o the edge bbefore the bottle is adjusted to horizontal position. j

In operation the cork'- 'or othermaterial spring l1 may be steamed or compressedjbefore inserting itin the guard-.plug and the verse opening in. theplug and pressed inwardly, so they'will be flush with the surface .of the plug, so the-latter can be pressed into the-neckI of the bottle until the locking-lugs are opposite the. groove C, when the spring proper provided will force the saidlu'gs out intothe groove and lockV the guard-in place.

In the use of the bottle" after the same has been filled the cork valve is 'iirst inserted,

ollowed by the ball F, and'then the guard is inserted, as beforedescrib'ed. l

Having thus described my invention, what' I claim as new, and-desirev to secure byLetters 1. The improvement with a neck portion extendingftherefrom and having an integral groove, an opening being provided between the body ofthe bottle and .the valve-chamber, and the latter being pro-c.
